Thanks for your comment on cleaning the slabs with washing powder, Iā€™ve recently started using dry salt on the weeds and thatā€™s so easy as well, just sprinkle on and leave then they die back. Have enjoyed looking at your photos, Devon is a lovely place, we stayed at the Mermaid Cottage last September in Dawlish, had a lovely week ā˜ŗļø👍🏻

Iā€™m giving it a go thatā€™s for sure @prunella - Awh Dawlish is nice part of the world, except if you are on a train in a hurricane! Bit close to the sea 😱we are about 30 minutes away so love visiting that coast.. especially in the winter!

I know I thought they were early, first one popped up about six weeks ago @angiecrazycatlady but they are in an old fire pit next the the back door in a very sheltered spot and Iā€™m down south so I imagine that helps! 😊
